Description
In this week's episode we have Whoopi, a revert with strong Samoan roots living in Australia. Whoopi was a key member of her church even training to become a pastor. She converted in 2016 despite an undeniable bond with her family and the ultimatum they gave her: choose between Islam or them.

We talk about a lot of key issues in this episode from negative family reactions to not feeling accepted as part of the ummah to dealing with islamophobia and then finally about how her family eventually came together again.
